The call to of_find_compatible_node returns a node pointer with refcount incremented thus it must be explicitly decremented after the last usage. irq_domain_add_linear also calls of_node_get to increase refcount, so irq_domain will not be affected when it is released.
Detected by coccinelle with the following warnings: ./arch/powerpc/platforms/8xx/pic.c:158:1-7: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 136, but without a corresponding object release within this function.
